From the void between dimensions, an ancient cosmic entity emerged—corrupting, consuming, and devouring all in its path. In the wake of the cataclysm known as Voidfall, the admirals of the fallen galactic empire, the Domineum, forged a desperate contingency plan. To preserve the legacy of human civilization from the Voidborn threat, a former imperial flagship, the Revenant, was retrofitted to carry vast databanks containing the accumulated knowledge of humanity and escape the fallen empire. Now, bearing humanity’s last hope and escorted by the ships of the Domineum’s last Great Houses, you must guide the fleet to safety beyond the known galaxy, balance fragile alliances, and secure not only the survival of humankind—but also your own political destiny.
Revenant is a standalone, competitive worker placement game of shifting allegiances set in the Voidfall universe. Players take on the role of rival admirals coordinating the defense of a fleeing starfleet and competing to earn influence with the factions that stand to survive the journey.
Across four rounds, players assign crew to ships throughout the fleet to fight corrupted ships, explore planets for resources, upgrade their ship and crew, deploy new vessels, and more. Each ship is affiliated with one of the Great Houses, and each time you assign crew there, you gain influence with that House.
The journey won’t be easy. The Voidborn’s corrupted forces continuously attack the fleet, dealing damage to various ships at the end of every round. You can protect the fleet by destroying enemy ships, repairing friendly vessels, maneuvering them to safe areas, or activating the Revenant’s hyperdrive to jump to a safer sector. Regardless of your efforts, casualties are inevitable—you must ensure the Houses where you hold influence are protected above others.
